“Black Eyes on Black Art” Panel Discussion

“Black Eyes On Black Art,” is an open-ended conversation, investigating the importance of Black people witnessing and creating Black art during times of uncertainty and conflict.

We recognize the power of how Black people, and Black artists, navigate times of uncertainty and conflict by leaning into the spiritual, literary, political, artistic and ancestral practices. Considering the current amnesia surrounding the artistic and empowered Black history of the Tenderloin, we are hosting this topical conversation to both acknowledge and bridge the gap between the past and the present.

Please join and witness this conversation featuring artist Ramekon O’Arwisters, writer and GLIDE Memorial Church’s Minister of Celebration Marvin K. White, curator and artist historian Key Jo Lee of MoAD, and community advocate and facilitator Mattie Loyce.
